ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to assess which features of temporal lobe proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) are associated with satisfactory surgical outcome in patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy and bilateral hippocampal atrophy. We studied 21 patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy and bilateral hippocampal atrophy defined by magnetic resonance imaging volumetric measurements who underwent surgical treatment. 1H-MRSI was used to determine the relative resonance intensity ratio of the neuronal marker N-acetylaspartate to creatine + phosphocreatine (NAA/Cr) for mid and posterior temporal lobe regions of the left and right hemisphere, as well as an asymmetry index. Values lower than 2 SDs below the normal mean were considered abnormal. We used Engel's classification to assess surgical outcome with respect to seizure control. Eleven patients (52%) were in class I-II and 10 (48%) were in class III-IV. All 21 were operated on the side of maximal electroencephalographic (EEG) lateralization. Concordant lateralization of decreases in NAA/Cr to the side of surgery and normal NAA/Cr values in the contralateral posterior-temporal region were significantly associated with good surgical outcome: 11 (69%) of 16 patients with 1H-MRSI abnormalities concordant with EEG lateralization and none of the 5 patients with nonconcordant 1H-MRSI had a good outcome (class I-II); 10 (77%) of 13 patients with normal NAA/Cr contralateral to the EEG lateralization versus 1 (12.5%) of 8 of those with NAA/Cr reduction contralateral to EEG lateralization were in class I-II. Regression correlation analysis showed significant linear correlation between the midtemporal NAA/Cr relative asymmetry ratio and surgical outcome; the greater the asymmetry, the better the outcome. We conclude that discriminant 1H-MRSI features associated with favorable surgical outcome in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and bilateral hippocampal atrophy were (1) concordant 1H-MRSI lateralization, (2) a greater side-to-side asymmetry of NAA/Cr, and (3) an absence of contralateral posterior NAA/Cr reduction.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To examine whether or not pattern analysis of magnetic resonance volumetric (MRVol) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) data would enable (a) the accurate lateralization of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and (b) the discrimination of TLE from extratemporal epilepsy (E-TLE). METHODS: For lateralization analysis, we used data from 150 nonforeign tissue lesional TLE patients [88 left-sided (L-TLE), 46 right-sided (R-TLE), and 16 bilateral (Bi-TLE)]. For the discrimination of TLE from E-TLE, we used data from 174 patients (145 with unilateral TLE, 14 with unilateral E-TLE, and 15 with widespread epileptogenic zones involving both the TL and extra-TL regions-multilobar epilepsy). A series of "leave-one-out" cross-validated linear discriminant analyses were performed using the MRVol and 1H-MRSI data sets to lateralize TLE and discriminate it from E-TLE. RESULTS: Lateralization: The leave-one-out linear discriminant analyses were able to correctly lateralize (with a posterior probability >0.50) 120 (90%) of the 134 L-TLE and R-TLE patients. Imposing higher posterior probability (>0.95) increased accuracy of lateralization to 98%, with only two discordant cases who underwent surgery on the side of electroencephalogram, and both had bad outcome. Discrimination: the leave-one-out linear discriminant analyses were able to correctly classify (with a posterior probability >0.50) 142 (89%) of the 159 TLE and E-TLE patients. Accuracy increased slightly as higher posterior probability cutoffs were imposed, with fewer patients being classified. CONCLUSIONS: Pattern analysis of 1H-MRSI and MRVol data can accurately lateralize TLE. Discriminating TLE from E-TLE was less accurate, probably due to the presence of temporal lobe damage in some patients with E-TLE reflecting dual pathology.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To examine whether or not pattern analysis of magnetic resonance volumetric (MRVol) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) data would enable (a) the accurate lateralization of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and (b) the discrimination of TLE from extratemporal epilepsy (E-TLE). METHODS: For lateralization analysis, we used data from 150 nonforeign tissue lesional TLE patients [88 left-sided (L-TLE), 46 right-sided (R-TLE), and 16 bilateral (Bi-TLE)]. For the discrimination of TLE from E-TLE, we used data from 174 patients (145 with unilateral TLE, 14 with unilateral E-TLE, and 15 with widespread epileptogenic zones involving both the TL and extra-TL regions-multilobar epilepsy). A series of "leave-one-out" cross-validated linear discriminant analyses were performed using the MRVol and 1H-MRSI data sets to lateralize TLE and discriminate it from E-TLE. RESULTS: Lateralization: The leave-one-out linear discriminant analyses were able to correctly lateralize (with a posterior probability >0.50) 120 (90%) of the 134 L-TLE and R-TLE patients. Imposing higher posterior probability (>0.95) increased accuracy of lateralization to 98%, with only two discordant cases who underwent surgery on the side of electroencephalogram, and both had bad outcome. Discrimination: the leave-one-out linear discriminant analyses were able to correctly classify (with a posterior probability >0.50) 142 (89%) of the 159 TLE and E-TLE patients. Accuracy increased slightly as higher posterior probability cutoffs were imposed, with fewer patients being classified. CONCLUSIONS: Pattern analysis of 1H-MRSI and MRVol data can accurately lateralize TLE. Discriminating TLE from E-TLE was less accurate, probably due to the presence of temporal lobe damage in some patients with E-TLE reflecting dual pathology.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To examine whether or not pattern analysis of magnetic resonance volumetric (MRVol) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) data would enable (a) the accurate lateralization of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and (b) the discrimination of TLE from extratemporal epilepsy (E-TLE). METHODS: For lateralization analysis, we used data from 150 nonforeign tissue lesional TLE patients [88 left-sided (L-TLE), 46 right-sided (R-TLE), and 16 bilateral (Bi-TLE)]. For the discrimination of TLE from E-TLE, we used data from 174 patients (145 with unilateral TLE, 14 with unilateral E-TLE, and 15 with widespread epileptogenic zones involving both the TL and extra-TL regions-multilobar epilepsy). A series of "leave-one-out" cross-validated linear discriminant analyses were performed using the MRVol and 1H-MRSI data sets to lateralize TLE and discriminate it from E-TLE. RESULTS: Lateralization: The leave-one-out linear discriminant analyses were able to correctly lateralize (with a posterior probability >0.50) 120 (90%) of the 134 L-TLE and R-TLE patients. Imposing higher posterior probability (>0.95) increased accuracy of lateralization to 98%, with only two discordant cases who underwent surgery on the side of electroencephalogram, and both had bad outcome. Discrimination: the leave-one-out linear discriminant analyses were able to correctly classify (with a posterior probability >0.50) 142 (89%) of the 159 TLE and E-TLE patients. Accuracy increased slightly as higher posterior probability cutoffs were imposed, with fewer patients being classified. CONCLUSIONS: Pattern analysis of 1H-MRSI and MRVol data can accurately lateralize TLE. Discriminating TLE from E-TLE was less accurate, probably due to the presence of temporal lobe damage in some patients with E-TLE reflecting dual pathology.
